Middle School French classes concentrate on the communicative approach of language acquisition and, as such, students are encouraged and expected to speak in French as much as possible. Through their studies, students are not only learning a new language, but are also developing critical thinking skills that are applicable to learning in many other content areas. Throughout any given class period, students will be provided a variety of activities that will allow them to have as much exposure to the language as possible.
You will be surprised at how much your child will be able to communicate in French by the end of his or her Middle School studies. Get ready for the ride!
In NSSD112, we follow the Standards for foreign language learning which include:
